• How many Minor Powers does the Nourishing Aspect gain if Vital Strength of the Earth gains multiple Major Powers at once (e.g., from Entwined Power in solo)?

Effect Rules

• What does Vitality do in lands with Blight?
  Nothing, aside from existing for effects that check how many Vitality tokens are in a land, like Heart-Tree Guards the Land. If the Blight is later moved or removed, the Vitality can be used for its normal function.

• How does Vitality interact with effects that add two or more Blight at once (e.g., Kingdom of Sweden Level 1)?
  Each Vitality prevents 1 Blight. Depending on the number of Vitality relative to the number of Blight added, this may or may not prevent all of the Blight.

• When Blight is added to a land with Vitality, does it destroy Presence?
  Not if there's enough Vitality to prevent all of the Blight from being added.

  Sufficient Vitality will also prevent extra effects of Blight being added, including those from Mining Rush (The Kingdom of Sweden Level 5), Irreparable Damage (The Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony) Additional Loss Condition), Runoff and Bilgewater (The Kingdom of Scotland Level 5), Fragile Sands (Varied Terrains), and All Things Weaken (Blight Card).

Power Cards

• When an Aspect starts the game with a Minor Power in its hand, does that Minor Power count as a Unique Power (e.g., for Tell the Old Stories)?
  No, it's still a Minor Power.

  The type of a card never changes, no matter where it starts the game. If you're ever unsure which type a Power Card is, check the back of the card.
